AI Summary
This bill, the CISA Cyber Exercise Act, amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish the National Cyber Exercise Program within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The program is designed to evaluate the National Cyber Incident Response Plan and other related plans and strategies, based on current risk assessments and aimed at simulating the partial or complete incapacitation of a government or critical infrastructure network due to a cyber incident. The program will provide model exercises that government and private entities can adapt for their own use, helping to systematically evaluate readiness and incorporate lessons learned. The bill also makes technical amendments to reorganize and rename certain sections of the Homeland Security Act related to cybersecurity efforts.
